Chapter Text
“Come on, Sam! The movie’s gonna start soon!” Max exclaims as he runs around Sam. “We have half an hour till it airs, little buddy.” Sam points out as he puts a bag of popcorn in the microwave. “I know. But I can hardly wait! I’ve been waiting for Bloodbusters Three: The Red Mile for MONTHS!” Max exclaims as he hops up and down. “I know you have, you haven’t shut up about it for the entire week.” Sam points out as he takes the popped bag of popcorn out of the microwave and put another one in. “I can’t help it I just-!” Max says as he jumps in the air and does a half twirl. And another. And yet another. Max then takes off running. Sam can hear what sounds like Max doing those jump twirl things in the other room. “What’s with Max? He just licked me for some reason.” Geek asks as they enter the kitchen. “He’s excited.” Sam says simply. “I seen Max excited before. I have never seen him act like this.” Geek points out. The microwave beeps and Sam takes the last bag of popcorn out. “True. Max will oftentimes hide his emotions, or at least downplay them. As strange as it sounds when you think about it for any given amount of time. I think his upbringing may have something to do with it, unfortunately.” Sam says as he pours the popcorn into some bowls.
“Really? Then why is he…?” Geek starts. “Max often times would only do this in front of me, even before we got together. But that’s because he trusts me, we did grow up together after all. But now… I guess he trusts you too.” Sam says as he puts seasoning on the popcorn. “That’s very sweet, actually. I’m… touched.” Geek says. “Watch this.” Sam says. “Oh, Maxie~! The popcorn is ready~!” Sam says as he takes both bowls of popcorn and heads into the living room. Geek fallows to see what Sam wants to show off. Sam places the popcorn on the table in front of the TV. Max comes running over and circles around Sam several times. “The movie’s gonna start in five minutes!” Max yells as he stops circling Sam and jumps onto the couch. Geek has a baffled look. Geek pulls out a phone and searches up something. “Geek! Come on! The movie's gonna start!” Max whines. Geek sits on the couch and gets settled. Sam takes Max into his arms. Geek looks over at Max who is making little… buzzing noises? Clicking noises? Geek looks back at the phone and finds the page they are looking for. Rabbit Behavior.
